16: A Good Idea From Washington, DC

As the government shutdown closes in on a month, there's even less optimism than usual these days about the federal government and its ability to solve problems. So today we thought we'd inject a little bit of hope and talk about one of the few bipartisan accomplishments in Washington, DC over the last two years. This week on The Readback, Alex Eule is joined by senior writer Mary Childs, who has closely followed the rollout of 'qualified opportunity zones' and what it could mean for America's towns. The Readback is a weekly, financial podcast from Barron's. Hosted by Alex Eule and produced by Mette Lützhøft.
